my redhat 9 is configured canned w/apache and mod_perl. The only
configuration I know is in /etc/httpd/conf.d/perl:
Alias /mp /var/www/mp
<Directory /var/www/mp>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry::handler
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
Options +ExecCGI
####put this here?
setenv PERL5LIB /path/to/lib
</Directory>
